Excrutiating

So we're coming up to 11 p.m. Tuesday night, election night, and we haven't seen an update from the Monterey County Elections Office for almost three hours now.

We're all for accurate counts and we know that the staff and the volunteers in the office are working very hard, but you'd think that they'd want to issue updated reports on the outcome of some very intense local races as quickly as possible. There's a whole bunch of candidates, voters and others who are anxious about seeing some results — and some of us have nothing better to do in the meantime but update their blogs by whining about slow results!
